Iron Maiden: Bruce Dickinson Featured In Airline Safety Video
Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson's done a ton of videos over the years, but his latest on screen effort is completely different from the rest.

A well-traveled and experienced pilot, who flies Maiden around the world in the band's customized Boeing 757 called Ed Force One, Dickinson plays host in a new aviation safety program video for the U.K.'s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).

Tnooz reports the instructional video, entitled "Safety In The Balance" was commissioned by CAA's Ground Handling Operations Safety Team in an effort to reduce the safety risks during ground support activities.

Dickinson outlines the intricate requirements needed to ensure aircraft, passengers, crew and ground staff stay safe.

Maiden's "Final Frontier Tour" continues this month through Europe with a series of festival dates, including multiple Sonisphere gigs and the Roskilde Festival in Denmark.

I think it's pretty cool that a metalhead like that is rated on the 757 and can pass a first class physical.
 
Bruce Dickinson hosted a series on British TV called "Flying Heavy Metal" which you might find available for download in the dark corners of the Internet. :wink2:

Memorable to me was a part on initial 747 FO training and talking with a guy who had never flown anything bigger than a Metroliner before and what it was like to fly the 747.
